Lady Rams Score in Eighth of Second Game to Complete Sweep of Lady Evangels

Ft. Worth, Texas – The Texas Wesleyan University Lady Rams scored the game-winning run in the bottom of the eighth inning to win the second game 5-4 and complete a sweep of the Mid-America Christian University Lady Evangels today (Apr. 2) in Ft. Worth, Texas. The Lady Rams shut out the Lady Evangels 4-0 in the opening game.

With the score 4-4 heading to the bottom of the eighth, Kayla Prachyl started the inning on second base due to the international tiebreaker rule and eventually scored the winning run on an error with the bases loaded.

The Lady Evangels jumped on top when Taylor Green singled and scored on a double from Cassidy Hart. Mariah Treat then reached on an infield single before Mykah Smith drove home both Hart and Treat with another double to make it 3-1.

After the Lady Rams came up with two runs in the bottom of the fourth to tie the score, Smith gave the Lady Evangels the lead right back with a two-out solo homer in the fifth.

The Lady Rams answered back on an RBI single by Lauren Davis in the bottom of the fifth.

Morgan Wardlow pitched the whole way for MACU, giving up four runs and striking out three.

Amanda Windham relieved starter Lauren Wernet for the final four innings and allowed one run and struck out four to get the win for the Lady Rams (16-20, 6-6 SAC).

In the nightcap, Brittany Rosenberry held the Lady Evangels to only one hit in seven shutout frames.

Prachyl went three-of-three at the plate and Bailey Terry had three RBIs, including a two-run triple in the third inning.

Tiffany Holt had the lone hit in the second game for the Lady Evangels (19-13, 4-6 SAC).

The Lady Evangels will next return home and host Southwestern Christian University Tuesday afternoon (Apr. 5) at 2 p.m. at Jack Allen Field.
